The time is coming for our annual UCSF Optometry Course!  We took all your feedback from the past two years into consideration, so this year we are trying some new things to try to enhance the experience for you.  Mark your calendars-- we hope you can join us!

Date:
Sunday March 24, 2019

Time:
7:30AM- 4:30PM

UCSF Parnassus Campus
525 Parnassus Avenue

Fees*:
Early Bird (on or before 2/11/19): $100
Regular (after 2/11/19): $150
*Due to the high volume of feedback at our 2018 course about the shortage of food and need for more beverages, this year there will be a nominal registration fee to help cover the cost of food, beverages, room rental, and other administrative needs.  We think it will be well worth your investment!

Special Needs:
